Sustainability

Corporate
responsibility

As a young company, we at PIXLIP are aware of our economic and ecological responsibility. Environmental and quality management, as well as the socially and environmentally compatible orientation of our supply chain are therefore core elements of our comprehensive sustainability management.

Ecology

Ecological
responsibility

We know: The Earth’s ecosystem is not unlimitedly resilient. Our declared goal is therefore to reduce our direct and indirect environmental impact. When developing our products, we always focus on our eco-effectiveness:

Recycled aluminium

All PIXLIP profiles contain more than one third of secondary aluminium. Recycled aluminium requires only 5% of the energy from primary production and guarantees the same quality as the raw material. Our supplier is certified in accordance with ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 14001:2004 + Cor1:2009 (quality and environmental management system) and is logistically located in the immediate vicinity of our production facilities. Long transport distances and the associated environmental influences can thus be avoided. In addition, we are pleased to be able to support a regional partner.

Packaging system

We do not use plastic in our packaging design. Our cartons are made from 100% recycled paper without compromising their stability. The packaging therefore serves both as a transport and storage option. Our light aluminium profiles ensure a low packaging weight, which has a positive effect on CO2 consumption - both on the roads and in the air.

Recycling Bags

We print with environmentally friendly water-based ink. Any textile waste produced by cutting is not thrown away but sewn into practical carrier bags by a sewing shop in Langenfeld. We use the bags made of residual materials as giveaways or donate them. Every customer has the possibility to have his old textile prints sewn into carrier bags or pouches.

Economy

Economic
responsibility

The term sustainability is not only limited to ecological aspects. Social responsibility also plays a decisive role. We therefore try to incorporate social concerns into our corporate decisions.

Sustainable investments

The consideration of sustainability aspects also influences our development of new products. In addition to high user-friendliness and the adherence to a timeless design, the focus is above all on longevity and reuse. All our system construction components can therefore be recombined and reused at any time. The newly developed PX LED module, for example, not only offers improved user-friendliness, but also resource-saving operation, which leads to a significantly better energy and cost balance.

Reusability

Sustainability and climate protection are also becoming increasingly important in the trade fair industry. This applies both to the materials used and to the entire logistics of the exhibition stands. The PX system, optimised for reuse, meets this trend: All system components are characterised by a long service life, are reusable and can be combined and extended at any time. Huge mountains of rubbish, which can be observed again and again after large trade fairs, can thus be reduced and prevented in the long term.

Social Engagement

As a company, we are, of course, also involved in charity projects in our region. We attach particular importance to cooperating with local workshops where people with physical disabilities work and are remunerated. In addition, we primarily support the Paria Foundation in Cologne, which provides adventure education and play activities to help children, young people and families in particularly difficult situations. An important part of this is the coping with mourning and trauma, the loss of a loved one or after traumatic experiences such as flight or violence. The foundation has also been active in inclusive sports for many years.

Working environment

Work Life
Balance

Our employees play an important role for the overall success of our company. Only if they feel comfortable we can work profitably in the long term. Responsible interaction is therefore a matter for us. It encompasses all aspects of everyday working life:

Family

The compatibility of family and career is still a challenge, especially for women. We would like to counteract this problem and therefore offer home office opportunities and part-time models.

Further training

We support our employees to take advantage of their potential and opportunities. We offer not only financial, but also organisational assistance for part-time degree courses or further training.

Feeling good

Our employees spend most of their daily lives at work. We want them to feel comfortable here and have therefore created an open office environment where this is possible. All the office equipment was developed and designed in collaboration with the colleagues and is based on our lighting systems. During breaks, our employees can enjoy the sun on the terrace, let off steam on the punching bag or sizzle in the large kitchen. We also want to promote a sense of community with company and summer parties, Christmas parties or joint water ski trips.

Health

The health of our employees is also important to us. Regular safety training and first aid courses are therefore obligatory. Once a week, free Pilates training is also offered to mobilize the backs of our office employees, who are particularly plagued. In addition, ergonomic chairs and seating balls as well as height-adjustable desks are available.
